4 Days in The Most Fabulous Place On Earth

The Moab, Utah Vacation Sampler is like the "Tour of Italy" platter at an Italian bistro, only this sampler serves up a satisfying sauce of scenery and sophistication... and you get adventure du jour! This Moab, Utah vacation package is perfect for those who may be searching for a nibble of rafting and camping for one night - enough to find out if you want more. Relax in the luxuries of the SpringHill Suites by Marriott for the first 2 nights. In between, believe it or not, there's time to tour Arches National Park and take in a Sunset Hummer Safari over petrified sand-dunes to a stunning view over the Colorado River.

The final night finds you drinking in a Castle Valley sunset on a wide sandy beach along the Colorado River with wide open starlit vistas - leaving an impression that perhaps you ought to stay and sink your teeth into this place a bit longer, sometime in the future.
